Every party sees only part of the deal
A shipment of rice or dates can pass through a farmer, a cooperative, a processor, a trader, an importer, a bank, an insurer, an inspector, a freight forwarder and a customs authority. Each sees only part of the deal, so trust is rebuilt at every step and risk builds up in the gaps. Around 13.3% of food is lost between harvest and retail (FAO, 2023), and 645 million people still went hungry in 2025 (SOFI, 2026).
Unknown counterparties
It is hard to tell producers from intermediaries, or real companies from shell companies.
Disconnected services
Finance, insurance, inspection and logistics are bought separately, with no shared view of the trade.
Uneven access
Smaller producers and SMEs struggle to reach buyers, lenders and fair terms that larger players take for granted.

Use case · Illustrative example
Indian rice reaches a Saudi distributor through a Riyadh trader
A Riyadh trading house agrees to supply basmati rice from an Indian processor to a Saudi distributor. On T57, all three firms hold a T57 Passport and role label, so each knows who controls the goods. The trader sends one deal file to several licensed lenders, who compete to fund the purchase. Inspection in India, freight and Saudi clearance are booked through partners. The processor, trader, distributor, lender and inspector all work from the same trade record, so documents match and payment releases when agreed milestones are met.
Why T57
Trust in food trade should be built once and shared, not rebuilt at every step.
A members-only trade club
T57 is not an open marketplace. Every member is verified and labeled by role, so the people you meet on T57 are who they say they are.
Institutional backing
T57 works with the Islamic Organization for Food Security (IOFS), an OIC institution, under a 10-year memorandum of understanding and has signed more than 150 memoranda and letters of intent across 67 countries.
